[Resolved] ECHS — Refusal of Medical Treatment at Mumbai Upnagar

S Sunil Devendra Gondkar from Chennai, Tamil Nadu Apr 25, 2009

I Ex-Sgt Sunil D. Gondkar is suffering from Diabetes Mallitus, Hypertension CAD and Osteo-Arthritis in both the knees, since last 10 years. I am undergoing mediacal attention at ECHS Mumbai – Upnagar naval Hospital, Powai.since 28.01.2008. However, as usual on 23.03.09, I approached the said hospital for monthly review. To my utter shock, Mr. S.P Dhyani LT. Commander (Retd.) Officer I/c Mumbai Upnagar Powai. He cited that INS Ashwini is my parent unit and I should approach INS Ashwini. I clarified to Mr. S.P. Dhyani that as I am residing in Thane as evident from the details of my Smart Card I am supposed to get treatment from ECHS Polyclinic Mumbai – Upnagar. But he bluntly refused to agree to render treatment. Meanwhile, I Also approached Ashwini, where they clearly stated that since I am residing in Thane I am eligible for treatment at Mumbai- Upnagar till the time the incident of 23.03.09 as briefly above occurred. The status as of now is, I am denied medical treatment and without medication I am experiencing serious problems related to my health. This trauma o[censored]ncerainity prevailing over my medical treatment is consistently bothering me. I fail to understand how can Mumbai-Upanagar stop rendering medical treatment given to me since 28.1.2008 Was this information helpful? No (0) Yes (0)

even the ECHS contact email is not given anywhere and after mailing to the [protected]@bol.net.in and [protected]@yahoo.co.in there is no positive response.

Dear ECHS members,

Most of the concerns of members are correct. As, one can not take treatmnet from any other Poly Clinic than his parent Clinic. We do not appreciate, when the technology allows the flexibility, why the MoD/DG ECHS is not allowing atleast OPD treatmnet at Non Parent Clinic. In todays volatile corporate environment, one need to switch jobs rapidly and your place of stay will also change. It is must to be flexi Polyclinic.
